Come on, we don't bite ;-) > Thanks for mentioning me. :) I am happy to collaborate with anyone on my builds. Note that I build Gimp and all dependencies from scratch using OSX gcc version 4.2.1; that is, I build gtk+, glib, pango, cairo etc. etc. etc. and then I build Gimp. I also include plugins that I believe are useful to photographers, well at least useful to me. Finally, it's not really feasible for me to come to IRC and hence I loose out on some of those discussion. > > Thanks in advance, > > Sven > Thanks again, Partha > > [bugreport]: > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=715094 > > [showstopper in the Text tool]: > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711281 > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx > List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp- > developer-list > _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
